Arrowdale

Pretty much a perfect self catering experience! Helpful host, beautiful location and view, free use of kayaks, home made treats on arrival and a well equipped and high quality accommodation. We would come back again definitely.

Arrowdale is an exceptional self-catering home offering superior comfort, style, and breathtaking views. Beautifully designed, the house provides a cosy retreat, with its stylish interiors and luxurious amenities. The location is perfect for those looking to explore the natural beauty and activities the area has to offer with Kayaks provided to paddle to nearby beaches and bays offering stunning scenery. Clare is a wonderful host who strikes the perfect balance between being attentive and skilfully unintrusive. Arrowdale provided a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend!

This really is the perfect cottage in the perfect location with stunning views from a huge picture window over a beautiful garden, Loch Gairloch and the hills. It is by far the best-equipped cottage we have stayed in, with lots of cooking equipment and something for all three generations: books, games, kayaks and lifejackets (seals abound), and even a telescope. Clare is a wonderfully welcoming and thoughtful host and we arrived to plates of home baking and a chilled bottle in the fridge. Take up all her recommendations for eating out! I cannot recommend it highly enough.

An astonishing haven. A place where one can truly indulge one’s self in the things that are truly important. Rest, relaxation, Mother Nature and comfort. How one then chooses to pass the time will vary from person to person. But the options are many and varied. It’s a place where one visit is but an appetite whetter…

Lovely cottage in beautiful location. Cottage is extremely well furnished and maintained. Lovely outdoor sitting area. Use of kayaks are a great addition!

Absolutely outstanding. Beautiful property, extremely tastefully furnished, very well equipped, luxurious bed linen and towels. Really lovely, friendly and helpful owner.

We had the most amazing stay in Arrowdale Cottage and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Clare made us feel at home from the moment we arrived (to be honest our mind was at ease before we even got there) and the cottage itself is beautifully decorated throughout and truly feels like a home away from home. We genuinely wanted to take all of the furnishings home with us! Clare’s attention to detail and genuine care for her guests really stood out, as did the little personal touches that make all the difference on a stay like this. We cannot recommend enough!!

Arrowdale is perfect! We had a beautiful Christmas there. The cottage and location is wonderful! It was easily the most comfortable and luxurious cottage we have ever stayed in. All the details so carefully done. Clare was delightful and her baking is truly splendid. We spent Christmas Day watching the seals from the window in the cosy lounge. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Arrowdale is a lovely house in the north west Highlands. We stayed there with our adult sons who went kayaking and walking in the surrounding areas. It's very well equipped, Clare has thought of everything you might need, and it was warm, comfortable and very welcoming. She had left home made gifts, including scones and fudge. It's one of the nicest houses we've stayed in as a family, the interior was beautifully decorated with a large window overlooking the Loch and stunning mountains. Recommend Gairloch Museum, Inverewe Gardens, wild windy beaches, local butcher, Beachcomber Fish/Chips.

We had a wonderful week at Arrowdale Cottage! Arrived to some delicious home baking, a lovely personal touch. It was lovely to meet Clare, so warm and welcoming. We spent every day kayaking, the seals became quite used to us and posed for many photos by the end of our week. Arrowdale Cottage had everything you could possibly need and it was so enjoyable to relax at "home" with the most fabulous views. This was by far the best self catering holiday we've had and I so desperately wish we were still at Arrowdale.

We (6 of us) absolutely loved our 2 week stay at Arrowdale Cottage. It is so comfortable and perfectly equipped. Clare has thought about absolutely every detail. The welcoming bakeries and wine was a lovely treat. I fully agree with all the other positive reviews. We especially loved exploring the bay by kayak and dinghy (I felt we got to know the seals personally!), the Hebridean Whale Cruise (the water erupted at one point with a mass dolphins), the local walks, Beinn Eighe, otters and pine marten (2 appearances, metres from the window). Can't wait to return!

We couldn’t have asked for a better base for our stay. Arrowdale is exceptionally comfortable and well equipped. Being based right at the edge of the loch meant we could watch otters & seals going about their day while still drinking our breakfast coffee. Clare was a most thoughtful host, supplying lots of useful information prior to our stay and providing a lovely welcome pack that included many tasty home baked treats. Clare also offers a home cooked meal service. We took advantage of this and can heartily recommend the gardeners pie, while the sticky toffee pudding was the best we’d tasted!

Arrowdale is the best equipped cottage I know of and is in the most stunning location. The host Clare's attention to detail is quite extraordinary and she has been the most fabulous host. The cottage is stunning and is only matched by the view and the location. I can't recommend this cottage too highly.

Yes, it is worth the journey! A fabulously scenic location with plenty to do if you are outdoors or if you prefer to cosy up at home. Arrowdale is both well equipped and dog-friendly: both essential ingredients for a wonderful holiday.

A stunning home surrounded by amazing scenery . Delicious home baking, sparkling wine and doggie biscuits to welcome you to your holiday.

An absolutely beautiful house in a stunning location! The owner left us incredible home made cake, biscuits, and fudge for when we arrived as well as sparkling wine and some doggie biscuits for our four legged friend. Just loved it here and seeing dolphins swimming near the boathouse on our last day was the icing on the cake!

Lovely cottage, supremely well furnished and equipped, with a calm, homely feel. Fantastic views across the loch. We loved watching the deer chasing each other round the garden! Quiet area but with plenty to do - beaches, gardens, walking, water sports and more.

Arrowdale is very special, very peaceful, very beautiful & so very comfortable. Clare has thought of everything to ensure your stay is enjoyable. Her baking is divine!! The views from the windows are stunning, the weather might be fickle (it is Scotland after all!) but the view is always amazing. If you are a walker, nature lover, out doorsy type then the cottage will wrap you in a comforting welcome home upon your return each day. If you just want some downtime to read & dream then the window seat is the perfect place. Local seafood & crafts & plenty of wildlife & birds to spot. We loved it!

Arrowdale is the best self-catering property we've ever stayed in over many years of holidaying in such properties. The house is very well-equipped, luxuriously so, located in a beautiful area with lots to do close by. During our week we had a whole range of weather and appreciated the warmth and comfort of the house on cold days and the sitting out options on hot days, especially sitting on the rocks on the loch edge just below the house. A truly wonderful place.

Beautifully situated gem of a house: stylish, extremely comfortable and very well equipped - and blessed with the most welcoming of owners. Five stars.
